 HAND TROLLEY

A hand trolley is a small transport device used to move heavy loads from one
place to another. It is a very common tool used by a large number of industries that
transport physical products. Also called a hand truck or a dolly, the hand trolley is
often used by stock persons who arrange and restock merchandise in retail stores.
When used properly, trolleys can protect people from back injuries and other health
problems that can result from lifting heavy loads.

TYPES OF TROLLEY

Different types of these trolleys exist, and the type used is often chosen based
on what type of material it will move. Hand trolleys are made of various types of hard
materials, including steel, aluminium and high-impact plastic. Most hand trolleys
come in standard sizes and are used for general loads, but there are some that are
specifically designed for very small or large products.
Examples – Garden Trolley, Folding Trolley, Kitchen Trolley, etc.

 NEED FOR MODIFIED HAND TROLLEY

 Lifting heavy objects or building construction material from one place to

another place and less effort should required for a person operating the
hand trolley also less manpower should used.
 By Modified Hand trolley we can transport heavy weights objects than
that of ordinary trolley.
 We can unload material from trolley without wasting extra efforts by
pulling unloading lever.
 By using this modified trolley we can unload the material from trolley
safely without any damaging the material.

APPLICATION

In our project, we are using this concept to reduce the efforts of the labour which are
working on construction site and more material can transport in same time and that material
would be safely unload.
 SELECTION AND FABRICATION OF MATERIAL SELECTION

Material selection is a step in the process of designing any physical object. In

the context of product design, the main goal of material selection is to minimize cost
while meeting product performance goals. Systematic selection of the best material for
a given application begins with properties and costs of candidate materials.

Trolley body Material

Used- Mild Steel

Mild steel, also called as plain-carbon steel, is the most common form of steel
because its price is relatively low while it provides material properties that are
acceptable for many applications, more so than iron. Low-carbon steel contains
approximately 0.05–0.3% carbon making it malleable and ductile. Mild steel has a
relatively low tensile strength, but it is cheap and malleable.

WELDING

Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials,

usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. This is often done by
melting the work pieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material
that cools to become a strong joint, with pressure sometimes used in conjunction with
heat, or by itself, to produce the weld.

Many different energy sources can be used for welding, including a gas
flame, an electric arc, a laser, an electron beam, friction, and ultrasound.

-9-
We use the arc welding process for this concept-

Arc welding

These processes use a welding power supply to create and maintain an electric
arc between an electrode and the base material to melt metals at the welding point.
They can use either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current, and consumable or non-
consumable electrodes. The welding region is sometimes protected by some type of
inert or semi-inert gas, known as a shielding gas, and filler material is sometimes used
as well.

We have used Arc-Welding to join trolley parts together. The completed

prototype of the trolley as shown in figure.

CONCLUSION
Though this project had some limitations regarding the strength and built of the

structure, it can be considered to be a small step forward, as far as Hand Trolley are

concerned. During the test of this project, it was realized that it wouldn’t be a bad idea

to consider this design for carrying heavy loads. This product will be well acclaimed if

it can be commercialized to suit the needs. Though the initial cost of the project

seemed to be higher but more accurate manufacturing would shorten this.

As far the commercial aspects of this product are concerned, if this product can

be fully automated and produced at a lower cost the acceptance will be unimaginable.

Presently, there are no competitors for such a kind of product in our market.
